Gleaners Volunteer Day
“THIS IS HARD WORK,” said one Rotarian, “but SO much fun!”
Enthusiastic and willing volunteers came out to support Gleaners Food Bank and thousands of hungry Indianapolis residents on Saturday morning, by working in the new The Rotary Club of Indianapolis Food Distribution Center. They helped in the food pantry, stuffed boxes with food, worked in the coolers and generally assisted where ever needed. With the exception of a small break it was non-stop, fast-paced, physical work for three hours!
Rotary is committed to helping the hungry! There is a serious hunger crisis in Indiana. According to the most recent census estimates, there are 242,435 people living in poverty in Gleaners’ 21-county central Indiana service area, an increase of 57% since 2000.
Rotary and Gleaners Food Bank will be working very closely together over the next several years to raise $1.5 million for Gleaners. Stay tuned for more opportunities to help.
